♞ SoLo Deck Breakdown

In partnership with

The cover slide is missing a one-liner. Doesn’t tell me anything about the company.

This is a mix of a perspective framer and a problem slide, but it does a good job of explaining what the problem is and why it matters. I personally would prefer to have this split over two slides however.

This is a good solution slide that addresses the primary problem that was shared on the previous slide. It seems weak only because it doesn’t address the larger social issue that was mentioned.

This is really a product slide, not a solution slide. Aside from the mislabelling the slide this is perfectly fine.

Personally, I’d want some traction or something before we continue the product explanation that tells me why I should continue listening. The story is over so I need something like traction or a strong team slide to tell me that this is worth investing in.

Now we are getting into education slides, which kills the entire momentum. It’s especially unfortunate because they had a good story going.

Standard and simple. No issues.
